What is the Best Saxophone Song?

  • Thread starter Evo
  • Start date
In summary, some of the best songs are "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty, "Guns N Roses, Sweet Child O' Mine." by Axl Rose, "Bruce Springsteen - "tunnel of love"" by Led Zeppelin, "Honor thy Father" by Dream Theater, and "Octavarium" by Dream Theater.

I love Mountain. One of the best trios ever, though it should be acknowledged that Felix Pappalardi laid on a lot of studio contributions. He produced Cream, so it wasn't a stretch to see him guide Mountain through their early offerings.

I absolutely LOVE Corky! Great drummer. One could argue that Bonzo was better, (and I might take that side), but Corky got far less credit than was due.

My favorite song and a good (Jap) movie I watched few months ago (about a girl who grows up and forget her dog) - but above video doesn't flow well along with the song.

I've been listening to this version of this song for a few months. Odd to imagine she wrote this when she was in her 20's.

I think I told Lisab that I wanted this played at my funeral, because it reminded me of me.

Unfortunately, I'd never heard of these guys, and missed half their set when they came to the OCF. This song was playing as I approached the main stage.

A punk band called Toy Dolls does a great version.. if you can stand punk. ;-)

Renaissance - Prologue


Annie Haslam had an incredible vocal range, and I've never heard any other artist reach the high notes like she does.

Annie Haslam - Sounds of the Sea - Renaissance


Renaissance - Ocean Gypsy


My favorite tune by Renaissance is 'Ashes Are Burning' from their live double LP album Live from Carnegie Hall. Jon Camp plays a great bass solo.

Renaissance-Ashes Are Burning part 1 (studio version)
-pt1
- pt2


One of my favorite and more mellow rock pieces (from former Procol Harum members)

Crawler Stone Cold Sober

Jeff Beck who was the last guitarist of the tumultuous Yardbirds can be seen here about 1:12 in. Page was the engineer/bassist in the very last incarnation of the group, and it is unlikely that he would have been featured in a TV spot. Look for a skinny geek.

This is probably an acquired taste admittedly but this is Black Winter Day by Amorphis. All of the bands music is based on the Finnish national epic that I can't remember the name of.

Hahaha... the Mjolnir necklace was a nice touch.

I'd have to say that the orginal Black Sabbath album is still my all time favourite. Slayer's Count Down to Extinction is one that I have a hard time not liking still, maybe since they were a part of my high school years.

you mean Megadeth's? Not bad albums though I agree.

Ha! See how much I love metal? You are right it is Megadeth.
I also used to really enjoy Type O Negative. Their songs seem so much more cheesy now.
And I still have the soundtrack for The Crow which I think I mentioned earlier in this same thread. Some of those songs are much more hardcore than I am used to but I still love them.
An old member from here that hasn't been around a while now said that in her experience people tend to maintain a preference for music from when they were teenagers. I think to some degree she is right since I don't think I would like Helmet or Rollins Band if I heard them now.

Classic Type O Negative...

I'm not a big fan of American/british metal these days (I was in high school). it's too bluesy. I mostly listen to proggy stuff like tool, beatles, and smashing pumpkins, and then there's the aforementioned european metal lol. here's one of my favorite videos. weird in a different way of course;

Interesting video. Like a Lynch-Burton collaboration. I didn't much care for the intro music. It sounded like Enya on prozac.

Here's a link to a song with one of my favorite intro's:

Once in awhile, I find a remix, that reconnects me with my youth.

I used to listen to Napalm Beach, the Wipers, Christian Death, and such.

I guess it's not odd that I very much like this song that I found today.

Does anyone know the name of the genre of this type of music I used to listen to? Labels have always eluded me for some reason. I'm guessing grunge angst non-glitter goth metal rock. But that looks like everything, so I'm guessing that I'm a bit off.
